White Sox released INF/OF Eric Patterson.

Patterson was inked to a minor league deal in January, but the Sox ultimately decided they couldn't fit him on their Triple-A roster. The soon-to-be 31-year-old will look to latch on elsewhere. Fri, Mar 28, 2014 08:26:00 AM

White Sox signed INF Eric Patterson to a minor league contract.

Patterson began the 2013 season with the independent York Revolution and finished it with the Double-A affiliate of the Brewers. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2011 and will merely be organizational infield depth for the Pale Hose. Thu, Jan 9, 2014 12:04:00 PM

Patterson had been playing with the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League. He last played in the majors in 2011, when he batted just .180/.272/.292 over 47 games with the Padres. He's merely minor league depth. Fri, Jul 12, 2013 11:49:00 AM

Patterson failed to make the Tigers' Opening Day roster out of spring training and was hitting .244/.365/.317 with two homers, 23 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .681 OPS over 64 games with Triple-A Toledo. The 29-year-old shouldn't have much trouble finding a new home. Wed, Jun 20, 2012 02:26:00 PM

Nick Delmonico will be shut down for 3-4 weeks as he recovers from shoulder inflammation.

Delmonico injured his shoulder in the last week of the regular season. The 25-year-old utility player batted .262/.373/.482 with nine home runs over his first 43 major league games this season with the White Sox, though his minor league numbers suggest he's in for some regression in 2018.

Rodon is expected to need 6-8 months to recover from surgery to relieve bursitis in his shoulder, so he'll likely begin another season late. There won't be any reason for the White Sox to rush him in what is likely to be another rebuilding year. Rodon was 2-5 with a 4.15 ERA in his 12 starts this year. The third overall pick in the 2014 draft is 20-21 with a 3.95 ERA as a major leaguer.

James Shields has been shut down for the year due to soreness in both of his knees.

Shields was given platelet-rich plasma injections for the knee discomfort and will rest up for the final six days of the regular season. The 35-year-old right-hander finishes the 2017 campaign with a 5.23 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 103/53 K/BB ratio in 21 starts covering 117 innings. He's owed $21 million in 2018, with the Padres covering $11 million of it.

Carson Fulmer held the Indians to one run on three hits over five innings in a win Saturday.

Fulmer and Indians ace Corey Kluber posted similar lines, with the big difference being that Fulmer got the win after the Sox took the lead in the top of the sixth inning. The victory improved the 23-year-old to 3-1 in seven appearances, and it was a good final showing in what was a redemptive year for the former first-round pick. Fulmer posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in those seven outings, and with his feet now wet, he should be given every opportunity to win a rotation spot out of spring next year.

Petricka is currently rehabbing from nerve transposition surgery on his right elbow. He is expected to resume throwing in time for spring training -- if he gets invited to one. He registered a 7.01 ERA in 25 2/3 innings with the White Sox this year. He has a 3.84 ERA and 16 saves in 181 career games.

Nate Jones underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday.

It was a nerve repositioning procedure, not Tommy John surgery or any other sort of ligament repair, which will hopefully translate to Jones being ready for the start of spring training next February. The 31-year-old right-hander logged just 11 relief appearances for the White Sox in 2017, to the tune of a 2.31 ERA. He's due $3.95 million from Chicago in 2018.
